Am scientist (not in life sciences). If someone showed me this image, I'd have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at. So that's one for the 10%, I guess.

I don't know if it's right to say that they misunderstand. More like their hands are forced. When so much of what people consume increasingly comes from generative models, then the absence of your own culture from the training data means that it disappears altogether. Preserving Quebec culture is often one of the most important topics to show up in their provincial/local leadership races.

It's always good to be skeptical. But skepticism isn't "no, this is false". It's "how do we know if this is true?"

This is rsync. The "piss" refers to AI code contributions.

You can. That's why these drugs are so hyped up right now. The problem with these drugs isn't ineffectiveness. It's your dependence on these drugs to keep your diet in check and having to deal with its side effects.

in the short term, it looks like most of the cars shipped under the quota will be Teslas.

Just what we needed (:

We get tons of link posts from both HN and Substack. Most of them end up with positive net votes.

The point is to hopefully get people to put some more thought into the position they hold and what they argue against so they can make stronger arguments. Contrary to popular belief, religious folks do listen to logic (at least, in my experience). But those who argue with them don't argue from a place of logic either, so obviously they're not going to be receptive.

Yes, I acknowledge that it isn't malicious software. That's why I compare it to a zip bomb. The important part isn't "software". It's the "malicious". None of what Obelisk said relies on this thing being software.

You can't outrun a bad diet

The error rate is also based on that assumption. If the carbon suddenly popped into existence 6000 years ago, then that violates the assumption.

I heard (source may not be reliable) that one of the goals of this project is to better understand the effects of various drugs on people, so they would still need to know what everyone's taking.

IPF Rule changes (Jan 2026) (www.powerlifting.sport)
submitted 4 months ago by howrar@lemmy.ca to c/fitness@lemmy.world

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/58096221

Changes are highlighted in red.

Most notably, there seems to be three rule changes relating to technique:

  • Squat: Must use a full grip. Thumbless grip is no longer permitted. There's also a minimum height for bar position now.
  • Bench press: No sink-and-press
  • Deadlift: Clarifications on what it means to lock out with your shoulders back.

Say it's 25C outside and 30C indoors. I want to bring the indoor temp down to 25C, but opening all the windows barely makes a dent. Does it make sense to have the AC turned on and set to 25C while I have the windows open? Or should I be closing them anyway?

Version 1.0.16

This just started yesterday. Every time I switch screens (e.g. opening/closing comments or viewing a different community), The screen changes, it swipes down to reveal the old screen, then switches back to the new screen. It's very disorienting. Anyone else or just me?

Apparently we can register as a liberal to vote in the upcoming leadership race. What does it mean if I register? What do I gain (besides the aforementioned voting) and does it place any kind of restrictions on me (e.g. am I prevented from doing the same with a different party)?

This is a video about Jorn Trommelen's recent paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/

The gist of it is that they compared 25g protein meals vs 100g protein meals, and while you do use less of it for muscle protein synthesis at that quantity, it's a very minor difference. So the old adage still holds: Protein quantity is much more important than timing.

While we're at it, I'd also like to share an older but very comprehensive overview of protein intake by the same author: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/athlete-protein-intake/

Following up on another question about open source funding, how does it usually work when there is funding to pay for the dev's work, then someone new joins in and makes significant contributions? Does the original dev still keep everything? Do you split the funds between the devs? If so, how do you decide how much each person gets? Are there examples of projects where something like this has happened?

I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

Is there a community meant for anything that doesn't currently fit into the existing communities?
